What is the importance of learning vocabulary?
Learning vocabulary is important in many different ways. It improves our
comprehension skills, whether they are in reading or listening. Because we
have expanded our vocabulary, we can easily comprehend the information
read or heard. It also improves our communication skills, which allow us to
share and express ourselves in different ways, which is one of the factors
contributing to our language development. Learning vocabulary will help us
in occupational success; it is just like saying, "Good communication is the
key," because once you are knowledgeable on understanding and the correct
way of using words, it will serve as a steppingstone to your success.

Why is spelling important in writing a omposition?
One of the definitions of "spelling" is "the activity of writing the letters of a
word, including the proper use of capital and small letters." Every word has
its own unique combination and arrangement of letters, which is also the
basis of its definition and classification. Proper spelling of the word that is
used in a composition is important because the information or message of
that written work will be clearly conveyed if the word that is being used is
correct, which is possible when the word has correct spelling.

COVID-19 pandemic many schools have taken up the online mode of studies.
How online study is good for students? Online mode of study has its own
advantages. It is convenient and also a very cheap method of study. Given below
are some of the main advantages of online study. Online mode of study is a
convenient method both for the students as well as the teachers. Both can
actively participate in a knowledgeable session without even stepping out of
their houses. They just need to have access to a good internet network and
device to connect. You can sit comfortably in your room with the required
textbooks and attend a class with your classmates. Online study is pretty cheap
that convention school education, due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, you need
not to spend even a penny on your transportation to school and back; secondly,
all the other miscellaneous expenses at school get reduced. Sometimes even the
textbooks are also available online and are priced much lower than the hard
copies. You can download one at your convenience and they all have the same
content as real books. There is absolutely no doubt that the online study is a
safe alternative in case of a threat. It could be a blessing in disguise if it is too
dangerous to step out of your house. We all are well aware of the COVID 19
pandemic that has put the entire planet under lockdown. Also, students don’t
come in physical proximity with each other, thereby, reducing the possibility of
disease spread. Thankfully, students are attending regular online classes and
don’t have to fall back on course. Online study has tremendous potential in
terms of flexibility of curses and curriculums. There are some universities that
provide online certificate courses in whichever subject you chose. Everything
from registration to exam is carried out through online mode. Also, there is
flexibility in time. If you joined a little late, you need not to worry, as the session
gets recorded and you can review it anytime. Another advantage of online
education that it reduces the use of paper. The paper requirement for a digital
mode of study is almost negligible as compared to a classroom system. You only
need to take notes in your textbook while your teacher can do well without any
paper. Moreover, online study tests are also conducted online; thereby,
reducing the possibility of paper use. Online study has much better studentteacher interaction than in the case of a classroom environment. Distractions
usually present in a classroom, are absent in an online session, letting the
students concentrate on the lecture. Moreover, students become more
responsive in an online class as they overcome their hesitation in only a one to
one interaction with the teacher.
How online study is not good for students? Despite being advantageous
in many ways, the online system of the study also has several disadvantages.
Please find below some of the important disadvantages of online study. The
success of an online session depends only on your own conduct that on anything
else. How keen you are on learning things will decide whether the session was
beneficial or not. Your teacher might not be able to see you, so you are at your
liberty. It depends on how well you control your deflections and concentrates on
the session. This is a significant shortcoming of online study. While in the
classroom you have the continuous attention of your teacher; he/she doesn’t
have that liberty in an online class. He/she relies completely on how honestly
the students attend the class. It isn’t possible for them to watch everyone in an
online session. Often an online classroom session is only to the point where the
only subject matter is discussed. The usual classroom atmosphere where the
teacher personally interacts and crack jokes is absent. In a classroom teacher
can talk about several other things while in an online class he/she only teaches
the subject. Online study requires electronic screen gadgets to conduct the
classes. Students have to stare into the screens for long hours, sometimes 2 to 3
hours continuously. Such a long exposure top screen has its own impacts on
health depending on individual immunity levels. However, it may cause
headaches, vision issues in some people. Though the interaction between
teacher and student in an online session is uninterrupted; nevertheless, it is also
limited. The teacher has to attend to the queries of other students as well, so
he/she may not be in a condition to give more than a couple of minutes to each
student.
An online mode of study is a fusion of technology and education. It
indicates how well an education system can take advantage of new technology
and strive for growth and improvement. This mode of education could be a step
towards revolutionizing the education system in a never seen before form.
Despite the disadvantages, the online study method proved to be beneficial in
certain specific conditions. When it is not advisable to leave your home, or it
isn’t convenient for you, then in that case online study becomes a blessing in
disguise.
